Power-On Self-Test (POST) memory test begins and before the operating system boot begins. This chapter tells you how to update the BIOS by either using the Intel Express BIOS Update utility or the Iflash Memory Update utility, and how to recover the BIOS if an update fails.
Intel Flash Memory Update Utility You can obtain either of these files files through your computer supplier or by navigating to the Desktop Board DP965LT page on the Intel World Wide Web site at: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop Navigate to the DP965LT page, click “[view] Latest BIOS updates,” and select the ISO Image BIOS Update or Iflash BIOS Update utility file.
CD-ROM, bootable USB flash drive, or other bootable USB media. The utility available on the Intel World Wide Web site provides a simple method for creating a bootable CD-ROM that will automatically update your BIOS. The Iflash BIOS update files can also be extracted locally to your hard drive and copied to a bootable USB flash drive or other bootable USB media.
BIOS could be damaged. Due to BIOS size and recovery requirements, a CD-R with the .BIO file in the root directory will be required. For more information about recovering the BIOS for desktop board DP965LT, go to: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/...
A Error Messages and Indicators Desktop Board DP965LT reports POST errors in two ways: • By sounding a beep code • By displaying an error message on the monitor BIOS Beep Codes The BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails (a faulty video card or no card installed) or if an external ROM module does not properly checksum to zero.
